Marantochori Holidays from €673

The staff was absolutely lovely and the massage therapist, Eleni was wonderful!! One of the best massages I have gotten!

When arriving from the airport the entrance to Monastic initially was not readily apparent and somewhat inconvenient to move the luggage, so initially we thought we had made a big mistake with this booking. But once the door opens things changed quickly and with the assistance of the friendly and helpful stuff were shown our room: A large "Studio Apartment", great view, nice bath, kitchenette and any modern amenities one can imagine with a welcome basket. Staff showed us the roof terrace making the view of the Acropolis even better; Nearly all sites in 15 minutes walking distance; a place for couples who want to experience Athen; No, the Monastic doesn't have a common breakfast area or a bar but there are an ample number for every taste in close proximity.

The hotel itself is a great place. Once you leave the hotel and walk in the wrong direction you must be aware of everything around you. There are some shady characters hanging out watching especially at night. If you stay on the main streets you will be ok. Once off the beatin path you’re taking a chance.

The room and private pool/patio were lovely & comfortable, especially the lounge furniture on the patio. But it was impossible to get to the nice seating area below this and closer to the sea unless you went through your pool. The small complex of 4 rooms is built into the hillside, so you must descend 2 flights of stairs. We are elderly & appreciated the elevator! Excellent breakfast, which is delivered. Small kitchenette with dishes, kettle, microwave. Better signage needed to find this small hotel nestled between other holiday houses, but a staff person arranges to meet you there and they readily communicate by text during your stay. This is a beautiful area of Greece and feels very peaceful. It is lovely to look past the blue light of the pool at night to see the lights of Palairos across the water. The sun rises directly across from the large glass doors, which is pretty but heats the room up quite a bit (use the ceiling fan!).

A truly wonderful hotel with amazing suites and views. The architecture and decor is perfect for the location. Beautiful gardens with ocean views from everywhere. Staff are really delightful and helpful. There are a number of excellent tavernas within walking distance in the local town. The hotel does do food which is very good and is delivered either to your suite or to a couple of spots in the garden. You need to check how long it will take to get the food as they are not a restaurant and if busy it can take a little while to get it. However, worth the wait. We will definitely come back and stay.
